Engaging Communities

Engaging Communities

For Development and Profit

Skillful engagement with a hotel property’s surrounding community is essential for success in interacting with the regulatory bodies controlling development, and for maintaining maximum profitability. Increasingly, communities are interested in mixed use projects where a hotel is a catalyst for a larger redevelopment vision. And guests increasingly appreciate a hotel that is representative of and connected to its surroundings.

When entering a community, we always learn about its history and needs. We develop relationships and contribute time, organizational expertise and modest donations to quality projects and non-profits that have enthusiastic local support. We build hotels that enhance and celebrate their local communities.

This proactive community engagement generates success with local governmental planning agencies, especially where others have failed to get development projects approved. It also leads to customer referrals and contributes to high staff morale, each of which delivers increased profits to investors.
